@JamesGunn IDK if it’s in the movie or just the trailer, but I couldn’t think of a better track to culminate the GOTG series than Spacehog’s “In The Meantime”. IMO, the greatest track of the 90s (esp. with the PCO sample). This trailer nearly brought me to tears. Awesome, @JamesGunn 🤙🏼🚀

@BrianWTimm @MiaLMorrison @pgliljedahl Saw it mentioned at least once already, but I like the Team Shake app. You can simply push a button to randomize groups, but even my seniors still get a weird kick out of the fact that you can also literally *shake* the device to randomize too. Kinda fun. 👍🏼

@WhittMister @AppleEDU Super cool! 3D printing FTW! I’d love to see what you come up with. Maybe even some solution that encases all those tiny female/female adapters for Gen1 APs? Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be elegant, in true Whitt fashion. 🤙🏼

@BenMountz @AppleEDU Ben! Sup my dude. Thanks for the feedback. Love it. Pretty sure I’m about to steal several of these ideas and synthesize a new product. Maybe even 3D print something.

Has anyone ever found a “station” of any sort to charge like 25 gen 1 Apple Pencils at once? I’m imagining 25 female lightning ports oriented in a grid…or a 25-port hydra snake..something. Anyone? #edtech @AppleEDU

23 years later, and still one of my most prized possessions. You have to look closely, but @alyankovic is on there. 😁 The Saga Begins era, I believe. By the way Al, standing invite to our house for dinner for Twinkie wiener sandwiches! Expires never. Two islands over. 🤙🏼🌴🌺

@LaurelCoons As a veteran teacher, there’s nothing more thrilling than a student bringing a perspective that I hadn’t considered. I love when students give me epiphanies. But for some teachers, this may be threatening. It needs to be all right for the teacher to occasionally be wrong.

Oh, Banzai Pipeline physics graffiti artist. SO close. A valiant effort, nonetheless. #iteachphysics

@PaulHamilton8 Agree, Paul. Been learning RhinoCAD this summer. Tutorials are so much more meaningful when you have some existing context for what you want to learn - especially when there is a tiny bit of frustration involved. (Possible application to the classroom?)

I find watching tutorials more effective after I’ve had lots of time to play and get frustrated. Write lots of questions down ‘how do I…?’ And then after a couple of weeks start watching them. I find they are more purposeful and effective. #justme ? I get more aha moments.

@courosa I use Cat6 for all my new runs now, but then, nothing is 100% future-proof. If I were building my house again (and I could afford the extra expense), I’d run separate conduit run from room, which would allow for removal and re-fishing of new cable in the future. But for now, 6.

If you were putting ethernet into a new house, what Cat spec cable would be used? 5e?
